Dr. Renfro was called, last week, to officiate at the burial of old Mr. Scott, 
who died at his residence, near Harpersville some days ago. Mr. S. was one 
hundred and one years of age and lived throughout that long life a worthy citizen 
and consistent church member and died beloved and prepared.

Additional Comments:

in Virginia the 12th of January 1777, moved to South Carolina in early life, and 
camo from that state to this more than fifty years ago. His mind remained strong 
and vigorous notwithstanding his advanced age, until within a few months of his 
death. He leaves numerous descendants and many friends to mourn his loss.
